found Dr Ellie at age 70. been using system for 14 months doing the full system and my teeth are now wonderful. have not gone to a dentist in over a year,, was going four times a year for cleaning and things just kept getting worse and worse,,, so trying something else was a no loose gamble and IM so glad I did so - no problems ever since.
Dear Dr Phillips: could you please help me understand how the harsh chemicals in Closys (chlorine dioxide, trisodium phosphate), Listerine (Poloxamer 407, Benzoic acid, Sodium benzoate, etc) and Crest (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Titanium Dioxide) do not destroy biofilm but instead, based on the information you provide, help restore it thereby protecting the teeth and the gums?
I had a similar question before starting the Mouth Care System, because I avoided fluoride for many years. I took a deep dive into listening to her videos, reading her books, podcasts, etc. to find the answer. Now my teeth and gums are gorgeous, and a cavity in one tooth is filling back in. Dr Ellie’s Complete mouth Care system works better than anything I have tried or used. I am so grateful to have access to this information and to Dr Ellie.
@@kimariokijiI just ordered her recommended products and I’m very excited. I’ve been using various all natural tooth products that are fluoride free and free from all other “harsh chemicals” for over 15 years now and they have not helped at all, in fact maybe the opposite. Ready to try something different because I’m tired of my dental health declining.
In your xperience was it all positive or was it on occasion a struggle? After 4 weeks I now have very sensitive teeth. My teeth were sensitive before but are now worse! I'm sticking to the program as I understand the result only come in time. Perhaps it was my recent long cold, two weeks long, that has caused my tooth sensitivity i.e. Simply a very weak immune system while I'll together with less nutrients/minerals get to my mouth? Anyway, so was it all positive or have you had some ups and downs while on the program?
@@jamesbrown4107 Try oil pulling with coconut oil and a drop of Tea Tree essential oil.. Again It's a process. it takes time. It helps with the sensitivity...
I have been doing Dr Elle's system for 6 months now, and I am now 70. I have periodintal disease and have lost a few teeth due to bone loss. While I'll have to get a bridge now, I have improved my gum and tooth healrh. My hygeniist said my pockets have improved or havent gotten worse. She was amazed I hadnr't flossed in 6 months as they look fine. I followed her program but wasnt using the zylitol much I thought it was just for cavities, which I never get anymore. Also I started taking too many and would get an upset stomach. This video really explained what I was doing wrong, and will be using the zylito as she reccomended Thanks so much Dr.🥰
@@jimshaffer1780 You will see the improvements. I believe that xylitol is very much a part of the periodontal healing process. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story 👏🦷
Only into my third week and love how my teeth feel and look. I follow the protocol AM and PM, and xylitol throughout the day. My mouth is more moist, teeth are whiter, smoother. I'm used to one meal a day, so this program is a breeze. I did have to stop sipping on water all day. I also ordered a red/blue light therapy oral device and I am on methylene-blue troches- all good for the same objectives Dr. Ellie promotes. I am supposed to schedule a cleaning for a few pockets of 4 and 5, early onset of periodontal disease- I am committed to this routine and feel certain my gums will return and bone loss will reverse. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. ELLIE PHILLIPS ❤❤❤
Sorry, no idea what your talking about re red/blue light therapy? Dr Ellie does not mention this as far as I’m aware? I’ve been using the system since March 2024 and everything is good.
Doesn't Ellie say in this video not to overdo use Xylitol? She says after meals and acid drinks like coffee but otherwise don't eat or drink anything, I cluding Xylitol and rest the mouth and allow saliva to naturayheal the teeth and gums. Essentially eating Xylitol mints all day may infact have a negative effect on oral health! Just after meals and acidic drinks is what she is saying in this video.
@@abigailpenney Helloo ma'am I'm currently on your fourth day of cmcs I have a question I have very tiny dot like hole on my front tooth the day I noticed that is on 30 November and for that I went to dentist and he did polishing of that tooth in which very few particles of enamel very few is worn out I started using crest toothpaste and xylitol for a month but after your cmcs I felt that the tooth roughness is gone but the hole is still there and I'm worried about that it will form cavity Do I have any possibility to remineralize that tooth completely with good diet plenty of water and your cmcs Plz reply ma'am you are my only and only hope
Such an excellent explanation as to the hows and whys of it all! Thank you. I've been on your system since mid April of 2024. There was a remarkable improvement in the first 5 weeks. I had the beginnings of a cavity in #27, and that has since steadily faded, and continues to. It's rewarding to see actual progress since #27 is so easily seen.
Just put in a pre-order for the "new edition of Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye". Hopefully I can get my grand kids on your system while they are young and don't have to go what I went through. After 3 months of your system I feel like I have a new set of teeth!! Thank you so much!!
Hello Dr Ellie, thank you for the educational video. Just wondering if one day, if/when you get the time, maybe you could make a video about moderate-advanced Periodontal Disease. So many people have already got to those stages, is there any hope? 🌹
Hey Dr Ellie, I recently found out your channel and was fascinated that you are 70 years old looking really good. I wanted your help with chipped tooth, how can I fix it naturally, BTW really appreciate your work.
Incredible information. So very important. She is teaching us critical thinking skills about our teeth and how to take care of them. Extremely important facts. Let's practice this. Thank you doctor.
I have been on the system for 3 months and hope my mouler will stop being so sensitive. So far really has not gotten much better but hope it will with more time
Yes, Xylitol for life as it works for me. This product needs to be advertised more as everyone should know it. And follow Dr. Ellie's dental cleaning system. Thank you Dr. Ellie❤
Dr. Ellie you have done me more good with your videos and boot camp than all the DDSs I’ve gone to 😰 they have ruined things but you’ve helped me so much 🙏🏼 I still need some consultation for some things; but overall doing so so much better 🙏🏼💓
Dear dr. Ellie, you mention the state of teeth, in these modern age, and the amount of fillings there are at the age of fourty. When i was young, about the age of seven, we had a 'school-dentist'. Ot was during the seventies, eighties. Every pupil was checked by him, at cavaties and i remembered it so well, because of the dreadfull event it was for someone of that age! He, a chinese dentist, would come in a van, that was parked in front of our school. He only checked us for cavaties, and there were no possibilities for an x-ray that time. So my teeth with a cavaty he would drill out completely, and filled it all up with amalgam. At the time i left basic school, almost al my molars were filled. 😣🥺 My start was not that lucky... so i look forward to your advices; i am 55 years old now, and i still lost about only three teeth: two wisdomtooth and one old milktooth, that somehow still 'sticked around' untill it began to decay. One accident in a fall, resulted in a broken fronttooth, that only could be fixed with a root canal treatment. I've recently gone through a very stressfull period in my life, which had a tremendous backfire on the state of my teeth and mouth.. But i am really determend to keep my teeth in there, and mouth as healthy as possible! That's why i am watching your video's, in the hope i can save them all! Thanks for sharing your knowledge over here! ❤🙏🏻😁
Haha - I am working on a routine, and will let you know as I have the routine perfected :) Even in my mid 70s I don't want to give up on my skin. I know that the skin microbiome is similar to the oral microbiome - so i actually use xylitol granules in my skin routine. I use a few drops of sea buckthorn oil and add a few granular xylitol crystals - which I massage lightly into my skin. Then I blot with warm water, and then gently dab away the xylitol crystals with a face cloth - trying to leave dissolved xylitol and sea buckthorn oil on my skin. i finish with Kiehl's Ultra Facial cream ( Squalane and glycoprotein) for the daytime and Kiehl's Midnight Recovery oil which I kind of press into my face before bed at night ...and that's it :) You should find all those things on Amazon....maybe I should put some links on the Amazon page on my DrEllie.com website haha :) Thanks for asking
@@thairyrojas8679 Haha! No xylitol on my hair - but I do think hair needs nurturing. I have experimented with mustard oil, argan oil, but I currently use MIELLE organic products (Amazon) . I like their products a lot, but I would add that I have never colored my hair etc. and always brush it well with a good brush. I believe that if gum massage is the way to keep our gums healthy - then hair brushing probably stimulates hair health and growth in the same way.
I have been using Dr. Ellie’s system for almost a year now with dramatic positive results. I had specifically gum health issues, around two implants. Receding gums and puffy, bleeding gums. No matter how many cleanings I did with my dentist and brushing my teeth multiple times per day, this condition went on for years and I never saw any improvement. My dentist never offered any other suggestions other than to send me to a specialist. It was depressing and costly. I started Dr. Ellie’s treatment on a whim cause I figured I have nothing to lose and all the items cost under $50. Writhing 2 weeks I noticed a difference in my gums, less squishy & puffy. I was pleasantly surprised and continued on. More dramatic results ensued within 6 weeks, and now months later, my gums have tightened up, no longer receding and I think have begun to grow. The color is perfectly pink and my teeth have gotten whiter. How do you explain this other than following her regime? I have not changed anything else in my diet or lifestyle. I whole heartedly recommend the complete mouth care system prescribed by Dr. Ellie. Shame on all those dentists who offer false hope, took lots of patients money and never considered for a second another natural alternative to cleanings. Thank god for Dr. Ellie’s wisdom!
Wow.. “And don’t have xylitol along the way, it’s called mouth resting” .. so good to know, Dr Ellie! This was such a scientifically interesting and motivating video 😊🙏
Thanks for video. Would you please address concerns regarding xylitol and flouride. I.E. xylitol and cancer and heart disease. Also the issues with fluoride and adverse health effects so much so that legislation in USA is considering removing it from drinking water. Thank you!
I've held a very public position on Fluoride since 1984. After following the guidelines of dental school, I realized that I had poisoned my oldest three children by giving them excess fluoride as babies - creating a condition known as fluorosis in their teeth and thyroid issues that were obvious. Since then I have fought to educate parents about the dangers of consuming fluoride under the age of 6. Adults need to know that fluoride is found in high concentrations in tea of all kinds, raisins, wine and grapes for example. For this reason I do not drink iced tea. I have also championed for the conclusion of artificial water fluoridation here in my home of Austin - challenging the local dental society as to why they showed pictures of a diseased mouth - a condition called early childhood caries - during this debate. Fluoride does not stop dental disease. So yes - people need help to learn about safe levels of consumption. On the other hand, topical application for adults and children (old enough to spit out) can protect them from the need for plastic sealants and toxic white fillings and all the dangers of dental work. This is why we have to consider how to use the correct compounds, in correct concentration and use it topically. As for xylitol - xylitol is MADE in our body - 15 grams every day. Xylitol is a unique pentose health sugar that feeds healthy bacteria in the mouth and creates butyrate in the gut. I love xylitol. But one recent study - funded by a private equity group creating a competitive product - caused the first ever negative press - which was not only inaccurate but totally flawed. Xylitol has been handed out in preschool in Finland and other countries for over 60 years - and they do not have any higher rates of CVD or cancer - but are very healthy adults. You will like perhaps to read the new second edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye - in bookstores and online on January 28th 2025 - you should be able to preorder now. It covers all these topics and much more. Thanks for your interest.
There is a video here on YT with "adrenaline dominance" in the title. It says that topical progesterone cream helps with that whether for men or women. Teeth clenching and grinding is on the list of things it can help.
@@dr.elliephillips thank you for your response! if it won't re-mineralize without treatment, i'd like to have it fixed for cosmetic purposes, even if not technically needed for dental/medical reasons.
@@nmc5657 Sure - that is absolutely understandable - and that is how this treatment process should go. Stop the disease......THEN treat the remaining symptoms/ damage and make your teeth look, feel and function as you want them to.
Thank you doctor! 72 and found you 4 months ago. 5 implants. Now using your system and hope to lose no more. Live in Mexico City. Using xylitol products from other sources. Hopefully these products are true. Wish Amazon would deliver your products but they don’t. All other products are available on Amazon. Maybe you can find a xylitol supplier in Mexico. Again, thank you for all the videos.
My latest second edition of Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye book is going to be translated into other languages - including Spanish - so be sure to ask in your bookstores or on Amazon so that you will really enjoy the small details that boost this system of care. :)
I wonder how many of these comments are from shareholders in the producers of the products Ellie stipulates in her program? I mean, she states in older videos no conflict of interests yet the Zellies mints are made by her own company! Hey I'm not having a pop at Ellie but... well modern day reviews are generally unreliable. So I'll continue withe program and see if the suggested results are achieved after a few more months. For the record I've been on the program for almost 4 weeks and now have sensitive teeth but will continue. Would be great to get more info of the science behind her program.
She’s already stated that her company makes the xylitol that’s no secret and I’m good with that. Plus it’s way more information than I’ve received from my dentists.
@@valeriyahyahsharal8806 Yes, I'm not casting aspersions as I think she's pretty honest and of course we all know dentists are like mechanics i.e. They want you money! Ellie is hopefully trying to educate people so they don't need to lose their teeth. I'm struggling at the moment and it may simply be because I've had a bad cold for a couple of weeks.
Great work Dr Phillips. I, my entire family and some awakened friends chew xylitol. PS Coles sells “real gum” a natural chewing gum with xylitol as main ingredient. 2$ per packet. Australia All the best
There is a website Healthy Kiwis - a client of mine from about 15 years ago - who stocks all the products and system that I recommend. healthykiwis.co.nz/
I have a question: I have a lot of crowding on my lower, front teeth and my dentist is recommending pulling one tooth and then to get Invisaline. What are your thoughts on pulling a healthy tooth in this situation? I've been on your routine for just over a year. My mouth is SO much healthier, thank you!
I saw an advert for invisilign on Facebook. I read all the comments from users. Some were happy, other mentioned that their teeth went back to the old position within a few months, other mentioned that the pulling on the gums was painful due to how the structure is designed. Read much before you decide. I would not pull a healthy tooth! The bone underneath gets reabsorbed….
No way! I would not follow that dentist's advice. Once you pull a tooth and start moving the others around, you can end up with bite and jaw issues that will last the rest of your life.
I see some great comments here already. I would NEVER pull a healthy tooth without three agreeing recommendations. Try talking with an experienced dentist/orthodontist or prosthodontist - this can create a VERY serious problem if you get it wrong.
Eating greek full fat yoghurt with cherries, banana and blackberries sprinkled with some xylitol while watching this video. Chewing Zellie's gum after this before doing the system!
Hello! Thank you so much for what you are doing. I have one question. In your book, you wrote that toothpaste and mouthwash without glycerin should be used, because glycerin can interfere whith remineralisation. Does this mean that products whith glycerin are completely useless for remineralisation? I can't find any products whithout glycerin in my area.
@@beemikeme I looked it up because I was curious. I do use Stevia sometimes in my tea. I can't put Xylitol in my food because I had bad stomach pain. But I do chew xylitol gum and mints. I do not have good teeth. Almost all my teeth in the back are capped. My dentist made a comment that I have small teeth.
I'm 73 and had all my teeth, including wisdom teeth till I had mymolars (that previously had root canals) start going, alongwith thebottomwisdom teeth, which I miss. Have now gotten implants for several molars. They are OK, though losing bone under one that's 15 or more years od.
Thanks Dr one thing I am confused about isn't gum without sugar for example aspartame gum good for teeth and gum and gum produce saliva? What about xilatol gum or mint which is better ?
Xylitol gum and minst have xylitol - which produces a flow of healing saliva. I recommend you stop chewing the gum after 2-10 minutes. I do not recommend just chewing gum for oral health. The mechanism of chewing produces watery digestive saliva which is not optimal for oral health.
@@dr.elliephillipsdoes HAPPYDENT CHEW GUM WHICH contains ASPARTAME Is good or not..?? IT CAUTIONED DONT CONSUME WHILE LACTATING. Can we take gums while In Periods??
I lost a tooth at 69 so I guess I'm doing good, just discovered your protocol. The tooth I lost, the top broke off, I had xrayed about 10 years ago as it ached but apparently no cavity seen.
Hello Dr Ellie, what do you think about rinsing the mouth with either green tea, or green powder (barely grass or wheat grass) in water, after eating oranges or desserts? In case we don't have a xylitol handy .... Thank you ❤️
Question. I have been doing the entire system. Love it. I sometimes take the zellies every 30 minutes but after watching video Does this mean we should take 2 zellies after 60-80 Minutes? I believe we are supposed to take a total of 8 a day. Right? ?
If you use the mints each one has 0.5 gram ; she recommends taking 6-10 grams per day of xylitol that means you should take between 12 mints to 20 mints per day. She also recommends spreading throughout the day. I have seen people say “ strive for five” you could take 2 mints five times a day + 2 mints before bed. I prefer to to take 4 mints 3 times a day- sometimes I take 4 mints 4 times a day- but that’s just me and I can’t remember if she recommended this way or not but that’s just easier for me. If you don’t want your mints to be finished faster you could use xylitol granules in packets and mix between them.some people use the mints outside the home and xylitol packets o inside the home . The companies the she recommends for xylitol packets are shown in this video. She loves xylitol granules in packets because I think it’s user friendly! Each packets has 6 grams of xylitol granules in it . But certainly I have seen people buy 5 kg xylitol granules and use measuring spoon because to much xylitol in one setting send some people to bathroom.
I wonder how much mineral is from the root too? I got my first cavity toothache, dentist forgot to harden the top of the root canal. Now it's gone, extraction. Looking forward to screw, implant.
Can the people living in UK please advise what they are using ? Act and closys are so expensive and I can’t find the correct LISTERINE .. Can’t get the ANTISEPTIC ADA approved one
Hi Ellie, I started your program before Christmas and all was good to begging with but now my teeth are becoming sensitive. I going to try and rinse for a shorter period with Listerine as I was doing the whole minute and I suspect this is my problem. I think I have naturally saliva and this is my reasoning for reduce the Listerine rinse time. Also, here in the UK we can't get ATC, unless we pay a silly price so I'm using Colgate Floriguard which some have suggested is the nearest equivalent here in the UK, but what do you recommend? Also do you have any tips for those using your program who encounter sensitivity? Thank you for the program and your videos as all seems to be working very well but I just have the one concern regarding sensitivity.
Colgate Floriguard has Glycerin in it and Dr E says to avoid that ingredient, I think it stains the teeth if I remember correctly. I'm also in the UK and have found Act on Ebay
Found it on eBay but it's still really expensive compared to the US price so I'll still with the Colgate unless there's some other alternative. Thanks anyway.
Yes, found it on eBay but I wouldn't say it was a reasonable price. I'll stick with the Colgate unless some other alternative is suggested. Thanks anyway.
Hi Dr. Ellie. I'm middle aged. All my root filled teeth started to brake off recently. I'm v worried. Some teeth have cracked. Why has this happened suddenly? I'm v careful with my teeth and look after them well. Pl help. Thanks
Hello Dr Ellie, Pls can I use this cleaning system after I get my braces? I have a gap in my teeth that I think dental braces can help fix it. Alternatively, any advice on closing teeth gaps will be greatly appreciated. Thank u Dr. 🙏🏽
Dr Ellie, please one of my front teeth is coming out. After an ex Ray, it was revealed that all the bones are almost out and the advise is that l should remove and replace it. I have been thinking about it for almost a year. I have been using all of your products, except ACT, which l cannot find. Please what is your advice? I should have written this since last year. Thank you
@dr.elliephillips l live in Ghana and UK. I have been using your products except ACT. However, in Ghana l could not get xylitol, but l got some in the UK.
Xylitol - mints or gum like Zellies come in multiple flavors and will deal with plaque - better than anything. The key is to have one or two mints or gum AFTER meals - and beg him to give the xylitol an hour after taking it without eating and drinking. Second idea is to rinse with a dilute 0.05% sodium fluoride rinse like ACT twice a day - after breakfast and right before sleeping at night. Again - do not eat or drink after rinsing with the ACT. The combination works synergistically and will speed the mineralizing effects - to keep his teeth safe.
Hello Dr. Ellie, Me and my family have been using your system for a little over two months. I do the mouth care system twice a day, and I take zelllies xylitol regularly throughout the day. But what I've noticed is that between my teeth (flossing area), I've started noticing blackness (I'm not sure if that's plaque), which I've never had before. So my question is if this is normal and if you would recommend me getting a cleaning. Thank you so much!! *we have reverse osmosis water (not sure if that's a good option)
I have wisdom teeth that are blocked by my seventh's. Should I be worried about them destroying my seventh's, even if I do your system diligently? Should I get them extracted? A dentist surgeon recommended me to have them extracted.
I do not recommend getting wisdom teeth extracted. If you are using my system they should stay really healthy if you include them in your brushing/rinsing/xylitol routine. Even if they look malpositioned a lot of bone growth WILL occur between 10 and 35 Today I would recommend waiting until you are older if your mouth is healthy and try to get them to erupt. Here is a famous article (hotly debated in dental circles) about the unnecessary "prophylactic" extraction of wisdom teeth: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1963310/ The key is to keep these teeth at the back healthy - which is impossible with flossing or only brushing. The value of wisdom teeth is that your lower jaw WILL grow if the tooth remains in the bone. A wider lower jaw will mean a wider upper jaw growth to follow this - and then you grow naturally wider sinus cavities in your upper maxilla bones. This helps breathing, nitric oxide production and is a health benefit as you age. Using my system of care is a game changer.....DrEllie.com
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you, I've come to a conclusion that I should better start doing exercises to strengthen and define my jaw. That should help me loosen a bit more space for third molars to erupt. I think massaging the gums waked up my lower jaw wisdom tooth. I do feel a little pressure there.
@@smokingjinsung Ensure you use Closys for a full minute THIS IS CRITICAL to clean in that area - before you brush - every day. Use MOUTHWATCHERS brushes that I recommend - one for the morning and one for the night Xylitol followed by mouth resting for 1-2 hours, several times every day is also critical... If you feel pressure - use cold pack on the outside of your jaw - and maybe something warm in your mouth...warm salt water is very soothing.
Thank you...I have seen improvements and no more tooth sensitivity, but I am not using fluoride and I do use baking soda xylitol natural toothpaste. I believe the good alkaline based diet is the key, because then the natural God made remineralization takes place in the body. There is some body absorption of fluoride even when brushing and rinsing, so too dangerous for me.
It's good that things are working for you. But do know that you're cherrypicking and not following her system. It's the dose that makes the poison and fluoride at this concentration is not harmful even when absorbed. The toothpaste you're using may not have added remineralization effect and is very different from the sodium fluoride + silica combination she recommends. She also mentioned that baking soda has the possibility of eroding your enamel and gum because of its abrasiveness. She did mentioned the importance of maintaining the oral pH around 7.4, but that's not the same as following an alkaline diet (which has its own problems). As always, we're free to do what we think is the best for us, but always do so in an informed way while being open to truths that are hard to accept.
@MrMiaumee thanks..from what I have researched, bsking soda is not abrasive, and you are saying it's safe , the fluoride, but you don't really know that long term. In the old days, nobody had fluoride, and they did just fine with oral health, so I am not buying that. And a primarily alkaline diet, which simply really means more veggies and many fruits, doesn't have issues, it is responsible for the body being able to geal itself from anything. I have a friend who had stage four cancer that had mastastizied into bones and jaw, he could barely eat. Alkaline and many supplements and he is much much better. I appreciate dr. Ellie, but as we have seen with the insane clot shots, we should never just take any doctors word for things and must do appropriate research. You can call that "cherry picking", but even doctor Ellies' system could use some improvements, in my humble opinion. She's not perfect. God bless.
@robinsonfamily222 Annette's false there's only a few videos where I have commented what do you like a Dr Ellie Nazi or something you need to calm down
I suggest you get on my suggested strategies ASAP and put an end to the damage. Mouth resting is important for you - drink more - less often...really try this on as a new idea. DrEllie.com
good lord , I didnt realize how great my teeth are compared to the rest of the population , as all my teeth are untouched virgins by any dentist except for the teeth cleanings LOL
Dr. Ellie, my mom has a lot of issues with her teeth. She has implant on the top teeth. Im terrified to go that ride. Im 45 and my gum started receding ( mostly crossbite) the problem just started. I started you protocol 2 month ago and I’m thinking to correct my bite with braces or invisaline. Do i still have time? Dentist said my mouth is healthy.
Be very careful of invisalign and braces - they so often CAUSE recession that cannot be cured. Why not focus on getting your mouth healthy - and get a few opinions about your "crossbite" - which may not be an issue.
@@dr.elliephillipsthank you Dr. Ellie, I will get other dentist opinions . Btw orthodontic said the receding gum is do to dry mouth. He thinks because I sleep with my mouth open.

Have been doing your system for a year, I'm 64, have pockets, hygienist put me back on water pik and 4 cleaning a year. What am I doing wrong? I chew your gum, eat your mints, very little sugar😢
Q8 coenzyme, Bone and tissue formula from Dr Christopher, zinc, vitamin C, protein, collagen, red light therapy are known to help rebuild gums and lower inflammation.
@@CreatewithfranzsidneyI just started red light therapy! After watching the video, I'm not mouth resting long enough. I'll start setting a 90 minute timer. Thanks for your advice!
If I may add a comment, there are studies on Pubmed connecting xylitol ingestion with some issues, but not appendicitis. I think that people should not invest xylitol regularly and in large quantities. Appendicitis usually stems from a congested digestive system. Swishing with xylitol should be absolutely fine. Dr Ellie’s program is excellent. Andrew Huberman At Huberman lab mentioned her as very good at what she does.
I'm not saying it's her fault or the systems fault... I rece rly started with it.. with the gum.. but I was also having the sugar kind with my yogurt.. I asked, because there is not enough info about this, but yes, I read that Xylitol can cause some problems in the gut if done too much or too quickly.. Maybe that was the problem? And. What do you mean with congested digestive system?
@@drewblack749 This is not true -- there were several cases, but no causal effect could be determined. At the same time, a COVID infection definitely caused an increase in GI problems, including related to appendix. Given the virus' insidious effects, this makes sense.
@@Jshsoi Xylitol has been a baking sugar used by diabetics for over 100 years. It is beneficial for gut bacteria - and has been widely endorsed by nutritional experts. Our body MAKES 15 grams of xylitol each day - naturally. Here is a link to a very old cooking book developed by a nutritionalist - just to show you how commonplace this product is in the world outside mainstream America: www.amazon.com/Sweeten-Your-Life-Xylitol-Way/dp/0974604526 NowI'm not recommending this use as a baking sugar - its out of my realm - but I know it has been a safely used baking sugar used in many countries - including the UK during WWII and the only results they discovered were delightful and beneficial.

I had a similar question before starting the Mouth Care System, because I avoided fluoride for many years.

Dr Ellie’s Complete mouth Care system works better than anything I have tried or used. I am so grateful to have access to this information and to Dr Ellie.
@@kimariokijiI just ordered her recommended products and I’m very excited. I’ve been using various all natural tooth products that are fluoride free and free from all other “harsh chemicals” for over 15 years now and they have not helped at all, in fact maybe the opposite. Ready to try something different because I’m tired of my dental health declining.
I have completely turned around my oral health using this system. Thank you. For anyone in two minds just do it

Ellie is the best! So glad we found you over a year ago. Use the system every day and have been amazed. Thank you so much!!!
So grateful for Dr. Ellie Phillips
Thank you for sharing these crucial tips on preventing tooth loss as we age.
You are the Dr. Sebi of oral health. God bless you, queen
Will be at 6 months of your system the end of Jan 2025. It’s a miracle, and I will never stop.
In your xperience was it all positive or was it on occasion a struggle? After 4 weeks I now have very sensitive teeth. My teeth were sensitive before but are now worse! I'm sticking to the program as I understand the result only come in time. Perhaps it was my recent long cold, two weeks long, that has caused my tooth sensitivity i.e. Simply a very weak immune system while I'll together with less nutrients/minerals get to my mouth? Anyway, so was it all positive or have you had some ups and downs while on the program?
@@jamesbrown4107 Try oil pulling with coconut oil and a drop of Tea Tree essential oil.. Again It's a process. it takes time. It helps with the sensitivity...
I have been doing Dr Elle's system for 6 months now, and I am now 70. I have periodintal disease and have lost a few teeth due to bone loss. While I'll have to get a bridge now, I have improved my gum and tooth healrh. My hygeniist said my pockets have improved or havent gotten worse. She was amazed I hadnr't flossed in 6 months as they look fine. I followed her program but wasnt using the zylitol much I thought it was just for cavities, which I never get anymore. Also I started taking too many and would get an upset stomach. This video really explained what I was doing wrong, and will be using the zylito as she reccomended Thanks so much Dr.🥰
@@jimshaffer1780 You will see the improvements. I believe that xylitol is very much a part of the periodontal healing process. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story 👏🦷
Yea I believe she mentioned taking up to 7 a day?
Because too much and... Well you found out.
She’s amazing!
Only into my third week and love how my teeth feel and look.
I follow the protocol AM and PM, and xylitol throughout the day. My mouth is more moist, teeth are whiter, smoother.
I'm used to one meal a day, so this program is a breeze. I did have to stop sipping on water all day.
I also ordered a red/blue light therapy oral device and I am on methylene-blue troches- all good for the same objectives Dr. Ellie promotes.
I am supposed to schedule a cleaning for a few pockets of 4 and 5, early onset of periodontal disease- I am committed to this routine and feel certain my gums will return and bone loss will reverse.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. ELLIE PHILLIPS ❤❤❤
Please let me know how you make out😊
Which light device please?
Sorry, no idea what your talking about re red/blue light therapy? Dr Ellie does not mention this as far as I’m aware? I’ve been using the system since March 2024 and everything is good.
Doesn't Ellie say in this video not to overdo use Xylitol? She says after meals and acid drinks like coffee but otherwise don't eat or drink anything, I cluding Xylitol and rest the mouth and allow saliva to naturayheal the teeth and gums. Essentially eating Xylitol mints all day may infact have a negative effect on oral health! Just after meals and acidic drinks is what she is saying in this video.
@@abigailpenney Helloo ma'am
I'm currently on your fourth day of cmcs
I have a question I have very tiny dot like hole on my front tooth the day I noticed that is on 30 November and for that I went to dentist and he did polishing of that tooth in which very few particles of enamel very few is worn out I started using crest toothpaste and xylitol for a month but after your cmcs I felt that the tooth roughness is gone but the hole is still there and I'm worried about that it will form cavity
Do I have any possibility to remineralize that tooth completely with good diet plenty of water and your cmcs
Plz reply ma'am you are my only and only hope
Thank you so much Dr. Ellie for all you have taught us! My teeth have never been better. 😊
I really enjoy your Deep Dive videos where you use the white board. More please!!
Such an excellent explanation as to the hows and whys of it all! Thank you.
I've been on your system since mid April of 2024. There was a remarkable improvement in the first 5 weeks. I had the beginnings of a cavity in #27, and that has since steadily faded, and continues to. It's rewarding to see actual progress since #27 is so easily seen.
Please make a video on moderate to advance Periodontal disease and bone loss. How to address this issue?
Just put in a pre-order for the "new edition of Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye". Hopefully I can get my grand kids on your system while they are young and don't have to go what I went through. After 3 months of your system I feel like I have a new set of teeth!! Thank you so much!!
Thank u doc. U r an angel. I wish i had seen ur videos 10 yrs ago. It wud hav saved my mom a lot of pain.
Hello Dr Ellie, thank you for the educational video. Just wondering if one day, if/when you get the time, maybe you could make a video about moderate-advanced Periodontal Disease. So many people have already got to those stages, is there any hope? 🌹
Hey Dr Ellie, I recently found out your channel and was fascinated that you are 70 years old looking really good.
I wanted your help with chipped tooth, how can I fix it naturally,
BTW really appreciate your work.
Dr Phillips, hi, What about the fluoride content of the products that make up your very cool few-step program?
Excellent video! Thank you for explaining the concept.
Thank you Dr. Ellie
Incredible information. So very important. She is teaching us critical thinking skills about our teeth and how to take care of them. Extremely important facts. Let's practice this. Thank you doctor.
I have been on the system for 3 months and hope my mouler will stop being so sensitive. So far really has not gotten much better but hope it will with more time
Dr. Ellie, can you please give me your opinion on oil pulling with organic coconut oil?
I Love your work..!
Yes, Xylitol for life as it works for me. This product needs to be advertised more as everyone should know it. And follow Dr. Ellie's dental cleaning system. Thank you Dr. Ellie❤
I notice, the birch XYLITOL is better than the corn xylitol
Just pre-ordered your new book.
I have all 32 teeth and I’m proud of it. I want to take care of them.!
Dr. Ellie you have done me more good with your videos and boot camp than all the DDSs I’ve gone to 😰 they have ruined things but you’ve helped me so much 🙏🏼 I still need some consultation for some things; but overall doing so so much better 🙏🏼💓
Dear dr. Ellie, you mention the state of teeth, in these modern age, and the amount of fillings there are at the age of fourty.
When i was young, about the age of seven, we had a 'school-dentist'. Ot was during the seventies, eighties.
Every pupil was checked by him, at cavaties and i remembered it so well, because of the dreadfull event it was for someone of that age!
He, a chinese dentist, would come in a van, that was parked in front of our school.
He only checked us for cavaties, and there were no possibilities for an x-ray that time.
So my teeth with a cavaty he would drill out completely, and filled it all up with amalgam. At the time i left basic school, almost al my molars were filled. 😣🥺 My start was not that lucky... so i look forward to your advices; i am 55 years old now, and i still lost about only three teeth: two wisdomtooth and one old milktooth, that somehow still 'sticked around' untill it began to decay.
One accident in a fall, resulted in a broken fronttooth, that only could be fixed with a root canal treatment.
I've recently gone through a very stressfull period in my life, which had a tremendous backfire on the state of my teeth and mouth..
But i am really determend to keep my teeth in there, and mouth as healthy as possible! That's why i am watching your video's, in the hope i can save them all! Thanks for sharing your knowledge over here! ❤🙏🏻😁
Thanks for the video. Could you please make a video how nicotine and caffeine affects oral health?
Can you share your skin care
Haha - I am working on a routine, and will let you know as I have the routine perfected :)
Even in my mid 70s I don't want to give up on my skin.
I know that the skin microbiome is similar to the oral microbiome - so i actually use xylitol granules in my skin routine.
I use a few drops of sea buckthorn oil and add a few granular xylitol crystals - which I massage lightly into my skin.
Then I blot with warm water, and then gently dab away the xylitol crystals with a face cloth - trying to leave dissolved xylitol and sea buckthorn oil on my skin. i finish with Kiehl's Ultra Facial cream ( Squalane and glycoprotein) for the daytime and Kiehl's Midnight Recovery oil which I kind of press into my face before bed at night ...and that's it :)
You should find all those things on Amazon....maybe I should put some links on the Amazon page on my DrEllie.com website haha :)
Thanks for asking
@@dr.elliephillipsyessss pls!!! Also your hair is do shiny!!
@@dr.elliephillips Can't find xylitol crystals in my country. All brands are just labeled xylitol. Is it the same? thanks for your great work!
@@SeLibreEnParaguay Yes - that should be the same....is is granular and cystalline?
@@thairyrojas8679 Haha! No xylitol on my hair - but I do think hair needs nurturing.
I have experimented with mustard oil, argan oil, but I currently use MIELLE organic products (Amazon) .
I like their products a lot, but I would add that I have never colored my hair etc. and always brush it well with a good brush.
I believe that if gum massage is the way to keep our gums healthy - then hair brushing probably stimulates hair health and growth in the same way.
I have been using Dr. Ellie’s system for almost a year now with dramatic positive results. I had specifically gum health issues, around two implants. Receding gums and puffy, bleeding gums. No matter how many cleanings I did with my dentist and brushing my teeth multiple times per day, this condition went on for years and I never saw any improvement. My dentist never offered any other suggestions other than to send me to a specialist. It was depressing and costly. I started Dr. Ellie’s treatment on a whim cause I figured I have nothing to lose and all the items cost under $50. Writhing 2 weeks I noticed a difference in my gums, less squishy & puffy. I was pleasantly surprised and continued on. More dramatic results ensued within 6 weeks, and now months later, my gums have tightened up, no longer receding and I think have begun to grow. The color is perfectly pink and my teeth have gotten whiter. How do you explain this other than following her regime? I have not changed anything else in my diet or lifestyle. I whole heartedly recommend the complete mouth care system prescribed by Dr. Ellie. Shame on all those dentists who offer false hope, took lots of patients money and never considered for a second another natural alternative to cleanings. Thank god for Dr. Ellie’s wisdom!
Best Dr Ellie Teacher give ❤ your teeth evry time.
Thank you, Dr Ellie. It is helpful advice for me
Dr Ellis！ I love listening to you! Should I brush teeth before or having breakfast?
Have done this for 17 months.My teeth seem good but turning quite dark on lower teeth since I quit floss.
Check her video about teeth staining it’s few videos before this video
Wow.. “And don’t have xylitol along the way, it’s called mouth resting” .. so good to know, Dr Ellie! This was such a scientifically interesting and motivating video 😊🙏
Thanks for video. Would you please address concerns regarding xylitol and flouride. I.E. xylitol and cancer and heart disease. Also the issues with fluoride and adverse health effects so much so that legislation in USA is considering removing it from drinking water. Thank you!
I've held a very public position on Fluoride since 1984.
After following the guidelines of dental school, I realized that I had poisoned my oldest three children by giving them excess fluoride as babies - creating a condition known as fluorosis in their teeth and thyroid issues that were obvious.
Since then I have fought to educate parents about the dangers of consuming fluoride under the age of 6. Adults need to know that fluoride is found in high concentrations in tea of all kinds, raisins, wine and grapes for example.
For this reason I do not drink iced tea.
I have also championed for the conclusion of artificial water fluoridation here in my home of Austin - challenging the local dental society as to why they showed pictures of a diseased mouth - a condition called early childhood caries - during this debate. Fluoride does not stop dental disease.
So yes - people need help to learn about safe levels of consumption.
On the other hand, topical application for adults and children (old enough to spit out) can protect them from the need for plastic sealants and toxic white fillings and all the dangers of dental work.
This is why we have to consider how to use the correct compounds, in correct concentration and use it topically.
As for xylitol - xylitol is MADE in our body - 15 grams every day.
Xylitol is a unique pentose health sugar that feeds healthy bacteria in the mouth and creates butyrate in the gut.
I love xylitol.
But one recent study - funded by a private equity group creating a competitive product - caused the first ever negative press - which was not only inaccurate but totally flawed. Xylitol has been handed out in preschool in Finland and other countries for over 60 years - and they do not have any higher rates of CVD or cancer - but are very healthy adults.
You will like perhaps to read the new second edition of my book Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye - in bookstores and online on January 28th 2025 - you should be able to preorder now. It covers all these topics and much more. Thanks for your interest.

What causes teeth clenching and how can I stop doing it? I’m wearing my front teeth down.
There is a video here on YT with "adrenaline dominance" in the title. It says that topical progesterone cream helps with that whether for men or women. Teeth clenching and grinding is on the list of things it can help.
I’ve seen people do facial massages to release tension to stop clenching.
Is erythritol as effective as Xylitol? Thanks
thank you for all you do, dr. ellie. do chipped teeth re-mineralize? in other words, do they fill in naturally with proper tooth care?
Probably not if you have lost a chunk of tooth.
Best to get an evaluation - and be sure to ask if you NEED to have it fixed....
@@dr.elliephillips thank you for your response! if it won't re-mineralize without treatment, i'd like to have it fixed for cosmetic purposes, even if not technically needed for dental/medical reasons.
@@nmc5657 Sure - that is absolutely understandable - and that is how this treatment process should go.
Stop the disease......THEN treat the remaining symptoms/ damage and make your teeth look, feel and function as you want them to.

Hi Dr Ellie. When do you brush your teeth though? I’m confused if you eat, drink, then do xylitol where does the brushing come in?
I wonder how many of these comments are from shareholders in the producers of the products Ellie stipulates in her program? I mean, she states in older videos no conflict of interests yet the Zellies mints are made by her own company! Hey I'm not having a pop at Ellie but... well modern day reviews are generally unreliable. So I'll continue withe program and see if the suggested results are achieved after a few more months.
For the record I've been on the program for almost 4 weeks and now have sensitive teeth but will continue. Would be great to get more info of the science behind her program.
yes, I have wondered the same.
She has the science documented on her website as well as in videos. Old studies. It works!
She’s already stated that her company makes the xylitol that’s no secret and I’m good with that. Plus it’s way more information than I’ve received from my dentists.
@@valeriyahyahsharal8806 Yes, I'm not casting aspersions as I think she's pretty honest and of course we all know dentists are like mechanics i.e. They want you money! Ellie is hopefully trying to educate people so they don't need to lose their teeth. I'm struggling at the moment and it may simply be because I've had a bad cold for a couple of weeks.
Thank you for this information. Can we buy your Kit in Europe ?
Great work Dr Phillips.

Hi Dr. is deep cleaning damage your teeth and gum or not please do reply
I have a question: I have a lot of crowding on my lower, front teeth and my dentist is recommending pulling one tooth and then to get Invisaline. What are your thoughts on pulling a healthy tooth in this situation? I've been on your routine for just over a year. My mouth is SO much healthier, thank you!
I saw an advert for invisilign on Facebook. I read all the comments from users. Some were happy, other mentioned that their teeth went back to the old position within a few months, other mentioned that the pulling on the gums was painful due to how the structure is designed. Read much before you decide. I would not pull a healthy tooth! The bone underneath gets reabsorbed….
Never pull a healthy tooth
No way! I would not follow that dentist's advice. Once you pull a tooth and start moving the others around, you can end up with bite and jaw issues that will last the rest of your life.
I see some great comments here already. I would NEVER pull a healthy tooth without three agreeing recommendations.
Try talking with an experienced dentist/orthodontist or prosthodontist - this can create a VERY serious problem if you get it wrong.
Eating greek full fat yoghurt with cherries, banana and blackberries sprinkled with some xylitol while watching this video. Chewing Zellie's gum after this before doing the system!
Hello! Thank you so much for what you are doing. I have one question. In your book, you wrote that toothpaste and mouthwash without glycerin should be used, because glycerin can interfere whith remineralisation. Does this mean that products whith glycerin are completely useless for remineralisation? I can't find any products whithout glycerin in my area.
Hi Dr Ellie, Since stevia is a sweetener, can it contribute to tooth decay like sugar does?
No.
@@peacehappyb237 Thanks for the reply. I was wondering how do you know stevia does not cause tooth decay?
@@beemikeme I looked it up because I was curious. I do use Stevia sometimes in my tea. I can't put Xylitol in my food because I had bad stomach pain. But I do chew xylitol gum and mints. I do not have good teeth. Almost all my teeth in the back are capped. My dentist made a comment that I have small teeth.
What about using Xylitol in coffee instead of Stevia? Would that be a good thing to do?
3 meals a day is great with about 3 or 4 hours between meals - great for saliva time!
I guess it really works
Can a loose tooth ever get better? Can bone ever be restored
I'm 73 and had all my teeth, including wisdom teeth till I had mymolars (that previously had root canals) start going, alongwith thebottomwisdom teeth, which I miss. Have now gotten implants for several molars. They are OK, though losing bone under one that's 15 or more years od.
Dr. Ellie, do I really need an implant/replacement tooth after extraction? My father said, anything I put in my body, it will reject
Thanks Dr one thing I am confused about isn't gum without sugar for example aspartame gum good for teeth and gum and gum produce saliva? What about xilatol gum or mint which is better ?
Xylitol gum and minst have xylitol - which produces a flow of healing saliva.
I recommend you stop chewing the gum after 2-10 minutes.
I do not recommend just chewing gum for oral health.
The mechanism of chewing produces watery digestive saliva which is not optimal for oral health.
@@dr.elliephillipsdoes HAPPYDENT CHEW GUM WHICH contains ASPARTAME Is good or not..?? IT CAUTIONED DONT CONSUME WHILE LACTATING. Can we take gums while In Periods??
I lost a tooth at 69 so I guess I'm doing good, just discovered your protocol. The tooth I lost, the top broke off, I had xrayed about 10 years ago as it ached but apparently no cavity seen.
Xylitol available in amazon?
yes, plenty
Hello Dr Ellie, what do you think about rinsing the mouth with either green tea, or green powder (barely grass or wheat grass) in water, after eating oranges or desserts? In case we don't have a xylitol handy .... Thank you ❤️
Question. I have been doing the entire system. Love it. I sometimes take the zellies every 30 minutes but after watching video Does this mean we should take 2 zellies after 60-80
Minutes? I believe we are supposed to take a total of 8 a day. Right? ?
If you use the mints each one has 0.5 gram ; she recommends taking 6-10 grams per day of xylitol that means you should take between 12 mints to 20 mints per day. She also recommends spreading throughout the day. I have seen people say “ strive for five” you could take 2 mints five times a day + 2 mints before bed. I prefer to to take 4 mints 3 times a day- sometimes I take 4 mints 4 times a day- but that’s just me and I can’t remember if she recommended this way or not but that’s just easier for me. If you don’t want your mints to be finished faster you could use xylitol granules in packets and mix between them.some people use the mints outside the home and xylitol packets o inside the home . The companies the she recommends for xylitol packets are shown in this video. She loves xylitol granules in packets because I think it’s user friendly! Each packets has 6 grams of xylitol granules in it . But certainly I have seen people buy 5 kg xylitol granules and use measuring spoon because to much xylitol in one setting send some people to bathroom.

Hi Ellie,
I started your program before Christmas and all was good to begging with but now my teeth are becoming sensitive. I going to try and rinse for a shorter period with Listerine as I was doing the whole minute and I suspect this is my problem. I think I have naturally saliva and this is my reasoning for reduce the Listerine rinse time. Also, here in the UK we can't get ATC, unless we pay a silly price so I'm using Colgate Floriguard which some have suggested is the nearest equivalent here in the UK, but what do you recommend?
Also do you have any tips for those using your program who encounter sensitivity? Thank you for the program and your videos as all seems to be working very well but I just have the one concern regarding sensitivity.
Colgate Floriguard has Glycerin in it and Dr E says to avoid that ingredient, I think it stains the teeth if I remember correctly. I'm also in the UK and have found Act on Ebay
Ebay has ACT quite reasonable price.
I am also in UK.
Found it on eBay but it's still really expensive compared to the US price so I'll still with the Colgate unless there's some other alternative. Thanks anyway.
Yes, found it on eBay but I wouldn't say it was a reasonable price. I'll stick with the Colgate unless some other alternative is suggested. Thanks anyway.

@@Elizabeth-d1n My question exactly :)
I’m looking for a dentist in California (ideally Bay Area) that is down to work with Dr Ellie’s protocol. Any suggestions?
My son doesn't like brushing his teeth. What can l do. ?
Xylitol - mints or gum like Zellies come in multiple flavors and will deal with plaque - better than anything.
The key is to have one or two mints or gum AFTER meals - and beg him to give the xylitol an hour after taking it without eating and drinking.
Second idea is to rinse with a dilute 0.05% sodium fluoride rinse like ACT twice a day - after breakfast and right before sleeping at night.
Again - do not eat or drink after rinsing with the ACT.
The combination works synergistically and will speed the mineralizing effects - to keep his teeth safe.
Take him to a dentist office and show him people losing their teeth
Hello Dr. Ellie,
Me and my family have been using your system for a little over two months.
I do the mouth care system twice a day, and I take zelllies xylitol regularly throughout the day.
But what I've noticed is that between my teeth (flossing area), I've started noticing blackness (I'm not sure if that's plaque), which I've never had before.
So my question is if this is normal and if you would recommend me getting a cleaning.
Thank you so much!!
*we have reverse osmosis water (not sure if that's a good option)
How old are Dr Ellie and her teeth?
I have wisdom teeth that are blocked by my seventh's. Should I be worried about them destroying my seventh's, even if I do your system diligently? Should I get them extracted? A dentist surgeon recommended me to have them extracted.
I do not recommend getting wisdom teeth extracted.
If you are using my system they should stay really healthy if you include them in your brushing/rinsing/xylitol routine.
Even if they look malpositioned a lot of bone growth WILL occur between 10 and 35
Today I would recommend waiting until you are older if your mouth is healthy and try to get them to erupt.
Here is a famous article (hotly debated in dental circles) about the unnecessary "prophylactic" extraction of wisdom teeth:
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1963310/
The key is to keep these teeth at the back healthy - which is impossible with flossing or only brushing.
The value of wisdom teeth is that your lower jaw WILL grow if the tooth remains in the bone.
A wider lower jaw will mean a wider upper jaw growth to follow this - and then you grow naturally wider sinus cavities in your upper maxilla bones. This helps breathing, nitric oxide production and is a health benefit as you age.
Using my system of care is a game changer.....DrEllie.com
@@dr.elliephillips Thank you, I've come to a conclusion that I should better start doing exercises to strengthen and define my jaw. That should help me loosen a bit more space for third molars to erupt.
I think massaging the gums waked up my lower jaw wisdom tooth. I do feel a little pressure there.
@@smokingjinsung Ensure you use Closys for a full minute THIS IS CRITICAL to clean in that area - before you brush - every day.
Use MOUTHWATCHERS brushes that I recommend - one for the morning and one for the night
Xylitol followed by mouth resting for 1-2 hours, several times every day is also critical...
If you feel pressure - use cold pack on the outside of your jaw - and maybe something warm in your mouth...warm salt water is very soothing.
Does rubbing with the inside of a banana skin help to whiten teeth?
I think it is pretty caustic. Not my recommendation - since acidity will whiten your teeth - but not safely.
Thank you...I have seen improvements and no more tooth sensitivity, but I am not using fluoride and I do use baking soda xylitol natural toothpaste. I believe the good alkaline based diet is the key, because then the natural God made remineralization takes place in the body. There is some body absorption of fluoride even when brushing and rinsing, so too dangerous for me.
It's good that things are working for you. But do know that you're cherrypicking and not following her system. It's the dose that makes the poison and fluoride at this concentration is not harmful even when absorbed. The toothpaste you're using may not have added remineralization effect and is very different from the sodium fluoride + silica combination she recommends. She also mentioned that baking soda has the possibility of eroding your enamel and gum because of its abrasiveness. She did mentioned the importance of maintaining the oral pH around 7.4, but that's not the same as following an alkaline diet (which has its own problems).
As always, we're free to do what we think is the best for us, but always do so in an informed way while being open to truths that are hard to accept.
@MrMiaumee thanks..from what I have researched, bsking soda is not abrasive, and you are saying it's safe , the fluoride, but you don't really know that long term. In the old days, nobody had fluoride, and they did just fine with oral health, so I am not buying that. And a primarily alkaline diet, which simply really means more veggies and many fruits, doesn't have issues, it is responsible for the body being able to geal itself from anything. I have a friend who had stage four cancer that had mastastizied into bones and jaw, he could barely eat. Alkaline and many supplements and he is much much better. I appreciate dr. Ellie, but as we have seen with the insane clot shots, we should never just take any doctors word for things and must do appropriate research. You can call that "cherry
picking", but even doctor Ellies' system could use some improvements, in my humble opinion. She's not perfect. God bless.
@robinsonfamily222 that's not harassment I said I agree and I'm using most of her system why so defensive
@robinsonfamily222 this happens to be a public forum where we're free to politely disagree that's not harassment so stop your nonsense
@robinsonfamily222 Annette's false there's only a few videos where I have commented what do you like a Dr Ellie Nazi or something you need to calm down
I have Sjorgen Syndrome which makes it difficult to stop breakage.
I suggest you get on my suggested strategies ASAP and put an end to the damage.
Mouth resting is important for you - drink more - less often...really try this on as a new idea.

good lord , I didnt realize how great my teeth are compared to the rest of the population , as all my teeth are untouched virgins by any dentist except for the teeth cleanings LOL
Dr. Ellie, my mom has a lot of issues with her teeth. She has implant on the top teeth. Im terrified to go that ride. Im 45 and my gum started receding ( mostly crossbite) the problem just started. I started you protocol 2 month ago and I’m thinking to correct my bite with braces or invisaline. Do i still have time? Dentist said my mouth is healthy.
Be very careful of invisalign and braces - they so often CAUSE recession that cannot be cured.
Why not focus on getting your mouth healthy - and get a few opinions about your "crossbite" - which may not be an issue.
@@dr.elliephillipsthank you Dr. Ellie, I will get other dentist opinions . Btw orthodontic said the receding gum is do to dry mouth. He thinks because I sleep with my mouth open.
@@thairyrojas8679 If you use my strategies - having a dry mouth will not only improve but it won't matter if you sleep with your mouth open.

@@dr.elliephillipsI see what you are saying about braces and Invisalign but you also mentioned that we have gum receding we must find what is causing the gum to recede. Correct?
Have been doing your system for a year, I'm 64, have pockets, hygienist put me back on water pik and 4 cleaning a year. What am I doing wrong? I chew your gum, eat your mints, very little sugar😢
I am the same! I even added in supplements for tooth and gum support. I would love for her to do a troubleshooting video.
Q8 coenzyme, Bone and tissue formula from Dr Christopher, zinc, vitamin C, protein, collagen, red light therapy are known to help rebuild gums and lower inflammation.
@@CreatewithfranzsidneyI just started red light therapy! After watching the video, I'm not mouth resting long enough. I'll start setting a 90 minute timer. Thanks for your advice!
Get a new hygienist
I did, 2nd one@@kristic78
Have a question. I just had apendicitis, and somehow I have a feeling it is related with the Xylitol? Do You have any info about it?
If I may add a comment, there are studies on Pubmed connecting xylitol ingestion with some issues, but not appendicitis. I think that people should not invest xylitol regularly and in large quantities. Appendicitis usually stems from a congested digestive system. Swishing with xylitol should be absolutely fine. Dr Ellie’s program is excellent. Andrew Huberman At Huberman lab mentioned her as very good at what she does.
I'm not saying it's her fault or the systems fault... I rece rly started with it.. with the gum.. but I was also having the sugar kind with my yogurt..
I asked, because there is not enough info about this, but yes, I read that Xylitol can cause some problems in the gut if done too much or too quickly..
Maybe that was the problem?
And. What do you mean with congested digestive system?
JJ covid vaccine had a high incidence of appendectomy. My daughter was one of the unfortunate victims.
@@drewblack749 This is not true -- there were several cases, but no causal effect could be determined. At the same time, a COVID infection definitely caused an increase in GI problems, including related to appendix. Given the virus' insidious effects, this makes sense.
@@Jshsoi Xylitol has been a baking sugar used by diabetics for over 100 years.
It is beneficial for gut bacteria - and has been widely endorsed by nutritional experts.
Our body MAKES 15 grams of xylitol each day - naturally.
Here is a link to a very old cooking book developed by a nutritionalist - just to show you how commonplace this product is in the world outside mainstream America:
www.amazon.com/Sweeten-Your-Life-Xylitol-Way/dp/0974604526
NowI'm not recommending this use as a baking sugar - its out of my realm - but I know it has been a safely used baking sugar used in many countries - including the UK during WWII and the only results they discovered were delightful and beneficial.
Can i regrow my small part of erosion of enamel in my inscissors teeth 😢????
@@tariqahmed7893 it’s always worth a try
Is it ok to brush teeth with sensodyne ?
It is not my recommendation
@ … Thank you for responding 🙏🏼… wich tooth paste should I use for sensitive tooth ?
@@ravenetlight8330 You should try my entire mouth care system for at least a month - just see how well it works....to naturally remineralize your teeth...for life.

Would please do mints without any flavour? Although I LOVE mint and cherry berry flavours from your company; I want sometimes to eat xylitol without any flavour!and I could do that by using xylitol packet and dividing it throughout the day. However ,i get easily triggered by not knowing how much I consumed unlike the mints 😂
I have a stain in my front tooth due to cavity i had a filling but that stain did not fully fade now what can i do 😔
Hey how large your cavity is
Im so Afraid to use xylitol, because I have dogs ( I love to kiss them) at home and it is fatal if they ingest even the tiniest bit of it.
